This Morning star Sian Welby has revealed that wedding planning is firmly on the back burner as she and fiancé Jake Beckett navigate their hectic schedules. The 38-year-old broadcaster, who welcomed daughter Ruby in June 2024, said the couple are 'nowhere near' tying the knot and may not marry until 2027.
Speaking at Capital's Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium, Welby dismissed the possibility of a 2026 wedding, explaining that planning requires a year's lead time. 'We have got to give it time. I am nowhere near a wedding,' she said, adding that everything has 'gone AWOL' due to their busy lives.
The ITV presenter admitted she 'underestimated' the challenges of motherhood, balancing early morning radio shifts with her role on This Morning. 'We are still getting up at 4am to do the show. I am doing This Morning after Capital quite a lot, and it has just been bang, bang, bang, go, go, go,' she said.
Welby, who announced her pregnancy just four months before giving birth, previously expressed feeling 'a bit bad' about the wedding delay. However, she noted that fiancé Jake, a Heart Breakfast producer, understands the chaos. 'He gets it. He understands the mayhem. We barely have time to schedule in dinner, let alone a wedding,' she joked.
The couple are now focusing on their 'new rhythm' as a family of three, with Welby enjoying every moment of parenthood despite the intensity.
